God Destroying Pearl

Chapter 48: The Ancestor's Background

In the mysterious world of cultivating immortals, the lifespan of cultivators is like the steps of their cultivation, climbing step by step. Each level represents a different realm and power, and the transition of each stage is accompanied by a significant increase in lifespan.

The Qi Refining Stage, as the starting point of the road to immortal cultivation, is limited by the shallowness of cultivation and has a relatively limited lifespan of only over 120 years, no different from that of ordinary people.

During the foundation-building stage, the lifespan can reach over two hundred years.

In the Jindan stage, the lifespan can reach over 500 years.

In the Nascent Soul stage, lifespan can reach over a thousand years.

In the Spirit Transformation Stage, the lifespan can reach over two thousand years.

In the Lianxu stage, the lifespan can reach over 5,000 years.

During the fusion stage, the lifespan can be as long as ten thousand years.

In the Mahayana stage, the lifespan can reach over 20,000 years.

During the tribulation period, the lifespan can reach over 50,000 years.

The ancient sects in the world of immortal cultivation are like towering ancient trees, with deep roots and lush leaves, standing firm through wind and rain.

Behind these sects lies a profound heritage accumulated over countless years, and the most awe-inspiring of them are the ancestors with profound heritage.

These ancestors are all the leading figures in the sect. Their existence is the cornerstone of the sect's stability and prosperity.

However, as time goes by, even these once powerful men have to face the cruel reality of their dying days.

Therefore, they all chose different ways to deal with this challenge, hoping to be able to stand up again when the sect needed them most.

Some ancestors chose the most difficult path - seclusion in order to seek a breakthrough.

They know very well that only by breaking through the existing realm can they extend their lifespan or even gain eternal life.

Therefore, they resolutely cut off all contact with the outside world, locked themselves in secret rooms or sacred places, and devoted themselves to cultivation.

There, time seemed to have lost its meaning. Only endless spiritual energy and the rhythm of Tao surrounded them, accompanying them through one lonely day and night after another.

They constantly challenge themselves and break through their limits, just for that glimmer of hope, that glimmer of possibility.

Some ancestors, however, chose a more low-key approach.

They no longer appear in public frequently, and devote more energy to inheritance and teaching the younger generations.

Time goes back half a day.

In a quiet valley deep in the Qingyun Sect, there is an ancient and solemn cave. It is the place where the ancestor of the Qingyun Sect practiced in seclusion.

Outside the cave, ancient trees are towering and vines are entwined, as if time has stopped here.

The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to this quiet place.

Inside the cave, the candlelight flickered, illuminating the slightly old but still majestic figure of the ancestor.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed and concentrated. A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy surrounded his body, which was the profound foundation accumulated from his years of practice.

However, beneath this tranquility, there is a subtle hint of weakness and fatigue.

The ancestor's life span, like a candle that is about to burn out, is gradually coming to an end.

Although his face was carved with deep wrinkles by the years, his eyes were still as bright as torches, revealing his desire and indomitable spirit for life.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he could feel the vitality slipping away from his body. It was an irresistible law of nature that made him sigh at the ruthlessness of time and the difficulty of the path to becoming an immortal.

In order to prolong his life and for the future of Qingyun Sect, the ancestor had no choice but to choose to go into seclusion and break through.

He knew very well that this was a road full of unknowns and dangers, but he was even more aware of the responsibilities and missions he shouldered as a member of the sect.

Therefore, he was willing to endure the loneliness and pain just for that glimmer of hope.

During the days of seclusion, the ancestor relied on his amazing perseverance and profound cultivation to escape death time and time again.

The spiritual energy in his body was like a boiling river, surging and constantly hitting the bottleneck of his cultivation.

Every impact was accompanied by great pain and risk, but he never gave up hope.

As time went by, the old ancestor's life fire seemed to be extinguished, but at this moment, an unprecedented power quietly grew in his body.

It is the essence accumulated from his many years of practice, and the power condensed from his persistence and pursuit of life.

Driven by this force, the ancestor finally seized the opportunity to break through. As long as he was given a little more time, he would definitely be able to break through.

So, he took a deep breath and used a secret method to send a message full of worry and expectation to the leader.

When the headmaster received this secret letter from the ancestor, it was late at night and the moonlight illuminated his furrowed brow.

The content of the message was like a huge rock pressing on the head of the sect leader. There were no elixirs in the sect that could increase one's lifespan. It could be said that there had not been any elixirs related to longevity circulating in the world of immortal cultivation for a hundred years.

The head of the sect is well aware of the significance of the ancestor to the sect. He is like a stabilizing force. Once lost, the entire sect will probably fall into unprecedented turmoil.

Just when the sect leader was worried about this matter and almost fell into despair, the sect's spies brought an exciting news - the Tianyuan Secret Realm is about to open!

This news was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze in the leader's heart.

Tianyuan Secret Realm is a mysterious place that is said to contain countless natural treasures, adventures and opportunities. The most precious of them is the "Yannian Flower" that can prolong life.

A strong hope surged in the sect leader's heart, and he immediately summoned the elders from all the branches of the sect to discuss the matter of sending disciples into the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

They knew very well that this was not just a simple treasure hunt, but also a crucial battle that affected the rise and fall of the sect and the life and death of the ancestor.

"We must go all out and seize the Longevity Flower for our ancestor at all costs!" The head's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the meeting room and deeply imprinted in the hearts of every elder.

After discussion, the headmaster made a decision and said to the elders of each peak:

"Call all the elite disciples from the peaks near the sect and return to the sect urgently."
